Sanju Samson’s dismissal by TV umpire sparks controversy in DC vs RR match!!

In the thrilling encounter between the Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Capitals, Sanju Samson’s blazing innings in pursuit of a monumental 222-run target at the Arun Jaitley Stadium was marked by a contentious turn of events. Despite displaying remarkable form, Samson's valiant knock, which comprised a belligerent half-century, his fifth of the season, came to an abrupt halt in the 16th over when he was dismissed for 86 runs off just 46 deliveries. The pivotal moment arose when Samson, facing Mukesh Kumar, dispatched a length ball to the deep, where Shai Hope executed a potentially match-altering catch at the long-on boundary. However, the catch was not without controversy, as Hope's momentum led him perilously close to the boundary cushion, prompting the on-field umpires to refer the decision to the TV umpire, Michael Gough. Despite the intricate nature of the catch and differing perspectives on whether Hope had touched the boundary cushion, Gough swiftly adjudged Samson out, sparking a vehement reaction from the Rajasthan captain. Samson, visibly aggrieved, engaged in a heated exchange with the on-field umpires and signaled for a review using the Decision Review System (DRS). However, despite his protests and the subsequent review request, Samson's dismissal stood, ultimately forcing him to trudge back to the pavilion.
